The FBI and Maui Police Department are reaching out to the public for its help to solve why IEDs have been popping up around the island. IEDs come in various appearances. However, they typically resemble small, makeshift baskets.
“We encourage the public to remain vigilant and to promptly report suspicious activities that could present a threat to public safety. If you see something suspicious in the road, such as an object that appears out of place, do not touch, drive over, or go near it for any reason. If possible, keep others away from the area and call 911 immediately,” an FBI spokesperson wrote in a press release.
Investigators have not disclosed the exact locations where the devices were found or the number of devices that have recovered. No injuries have been reported.
